I dropped my iPhone in water, what should I do?
I was at the pool and dropped my phone into the hot tub, then turned it on. It froze then went completely dead. Theirs a red light at the top of the phone that's on. Ps it's a 5s. I need help urgently what should I do? I don't want to have to get a new phone
The normal answer is to put it in a bowl of rice. Or put it in silica gel (if you have any - that's the sugar-like stuff that comes in sachets when you buy some products).
Anything to absorb the water will help.
I would also advise disconnecting the battery, & not using the phone for a few days. This will prevent the risk of damage caused by short-circuiting, which is likely if the phone is used while it's electrical components or circuit board are wet.
Put it in a bowl of rice
Use a hair drier and open your i phone and give it a hot air drying this probably works
Who the **** will turn on a wet phone? You just screwed things up… Good day sir
- I dropped my Iphone in water - no water damage showing on indicator? Here is the situation. I dropped my Iphone 5 in the toilet (I hadn't peed yet so all good there). Immediately switched it off, dried it and put it in a bag of rice. This was at about 6 p.m yesterday. This morning without turning it on I opened up the sim compartment to check the circle for water damage (checked online and apparently this is where to check for water damage). The indicator was white. It is back in the rice but I was wondering - when you think it will be ok to turn back on?
- I dropped my iphone in water i dried it ans it works fine just that the volume is a little messed up. What should i do? I turned it off and placed it in rice but i'm tempted on turning it back on how long should i leave it in rice?
- I dropped my iPhone in water and now the screen won't turn on what should i do? It seems like the phone is still working because it still makes noise when I touch the buttons and my alarm still went off this morning but the screen is completely black. It is in rice now but is that still the best solution if everything is working except my screen? And I know I'm supposed to turn it off but I can't because the screen won't work.
- I dropped my Iphone 5 in water, should i be worried? So i was washing my hands and my phone fell into the sink while the water was still running. The phone wasn't submerged but it got wet. I turned it off immediately and threw it in a bag of rice just for precaution. Should i be worried considering the phone was never submerged and leave it in the bag or am i freaking out over nothing and my phone is fine?
